Over the last five years, ScootPad has released many new features and user experience improvements. For the last few months, we’ve been working to simplify ScootPad even further while retaining the key functionality you frequently use and adding new capabilities you requested. The changes highlighted in this post are the first part in a series of improvements that you will see in the next few months as we bring you a much simpler and easier ScootPad to use starting next school year 2017-2018.
